Enquête d'experts sur l'environnement mondial de l'information 2023

The 2023 IPIE expert survey of 289 researchers reveals that information accuracy and diversity of voices are the most critical features of a healthy information environment. Social media platforms and politicians are identified as the primary threats globally, though specific concerns vary by regime type: experts in autocracies highlight national governments and state-backed media, while those in democracies emphasize foreign interference and climate science misinformation. A significant majority of researchers (72%) cite the lack of platform data access as the main barrier to understanding the information environment, and 54% predict further degradation of the environment in 2024.

• Experts identify the availability of accurate information and a diversity of voices as the most essential characteristics of a healthy information environment. Specifically, 62% of respondents ranked the availability of accurate information among the top five elements for ensuring safe interaction between individuals and information, with 21% ranking it first, and 50% identified diversity of voices as an essential feature.
• Social media platforms and politicians are perceived as the most significant threats to a healthy global information environment across all regime types. Approximately 33% of experts across all regimes identified social media platforms as a top threat, while 31% of experts studying democracies specifically highlighted politicians.
• Perceptions of information threats differ based on the political regime of the country under study. Experts focusing on autocracies identify national governments, state-backed media, and local news outlets as primary threats, whereas experts focusing on democracies are more concerned with foreign interference.
• There is a divergence in the types of disinformation that concern experts depending on the regime they study: those studying autocracies are concerned with gender-related disinformation, while those studying democracies are more concerned with disinformation regarding the environment and climate science.
• Experts identify significant failures in content moderation, primarily attributing these to a lack of accountability for social media companies (66%) and the use of poorly designed AI-driven moderation systems (55%).
• The primary obstacle to improving the understanding of the global information environment is the lack of access to data from platforms, as stated by 72% of the international research community.
• A majority of experts (54%) believe the information environment in their area of expertise will deteriorate in 2024, while only 12% believe it will improve.
